Synthetic vs biologic mesh for the repair and prevention of parastomal hernia

Table 5 Summary of pooled proportions of outcome measures of open synthetic mesh repair vs laparoscopic synthetic mesh repair

Hernia repair	No. of studies	No. of mesh repairs	Recurrence	Complications
				Wound infection	Mesh infection	Other
Open repair	9	213	13.5% (8.1-20.2)	3% (1.2-5.7) FE	2.3% (0.7-4.8) FE	12.8% (7.4-19.4)
Laparoscopic repair	10	397	18% (8.9-29.5)	2.4% (0.804.8) FE	3.6% (1.9-5.7) FE	23.8% (14.5-34.6)
P value			0.37	0.79	0.5	≤ 0.0001

FE: Fixed-effect model.
